11 Dec 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Who were the riders seen at Badr? Mufti Abu Layth takes the Badr angels as strength and vigour rather than a physical event and floats a theory that the riders seen were Persian knights of the House of Karen; the guest prefers a purely literary reading.

16 Oct 2020video Why did Uthman appoint his relatives as governors? In Mufti Abu Layth's assessment, Uthman lacked Umar's iron fist for an empire that had doubled, so he relied on his own Umayyad relatives as governors, reviving the old clan rivalry.

31 Dec 2019On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Were the angels at Badr actually Persian knights? Mufti Abu Layth finds the theory that Persian knights summoned by Salman al-Farisi were taken for angels at Badr interesting but most likely untrue, and harmless even if true.
